Ok since Pulse is experiencing some technical issues with threads that have 100+ pages, it's better to start a new thread before the old one collapses and we lose it completely.

Part II, here we go!
@ Messiah, I think 4 is her lowest selling album over there!

I'm so pressed that the other thread went bizzerk. >:( I hate seeing scant threads. Anyways, if things continue to look up for "Countdown" on Urban then RTW will be the only certifiable flop of the era. :)
Best Thing I Never Had - R&B smash, moderate Pop
Party - R&B SMASH
Love On Top - UAC SMASH, Int'l hit
Countdown - R&B SMASH (if it keeps looking up)
Pretty hot.

Yes if EOT isn't released I will be so upset! That song is easily one of my favorite Beyoncé songs of all-time.

They should also try with IWH on POP and DFY on UAC. I Was Here will be released on Australia, so I think they won't release it here. |

Btw both "Countdown" and "Run The World" were featured as 2 of Slant's top videos of 2011. 16. Countdown. (Director: Adria Petty). [/b]  Not exactly a history of dance on film, or a particularly heady act of appropriation, just a dazzling homage to some of Beyoncé's favorite influences. Using jolts of pop-art colors, virtuosic editing, and a smile that spans from one tip of her bob cut to the other, Beyoncé pilfers through a very specific musical past—one that begins with Funny Face and ends with Flashdance—with her customarily giddy and sincere sense of spirit. 12. Beyoncé, "Run the World (Girls)" (Director: Francis Lawrence). The lead single from Beyoncé's latest album was a commercial flop, but the track was a grower thanks in part to its audacious video, which finds the singer armed with giant spotted hyenas and a harem of Saharan warriors (okay, a dance troupe), not to mention the best gams in the "bidness." Also,  And many places hail her as being the best performer of the year and having the best performance of the year with RTW at the Billboard Awards. Hardly arguable tbh. |

I have bad news for Beyonce fans. This is the first year in which B has failed to crack the top 10 since Destiny's Child exploded in 1998. This stat combines Destiny's Child and solo recordings, as well as featured credits on hits by Jay-Z and Lady Gaga. There are still two weeks left in Nielsen SoundScan's tracking year, but this week corresponds to the Dec. 31 issue of Billboard, so there is no way that Beyonce's name can appear on a top 10 hit in a 2011 issue of Billboard. Beyonce has three songs on this week's Hot 100, but none of them rank in the top 50. "Party" (featuring Andre 3000) dips from #55 to #57, "Countdown" re-enters at #91 and "Love On Top" jumps from #98 to #94. Please note that the headline says "Beyonce's Streak Interrupted," rather than "Beyonce's Streak Ends," because I have no doubt that she'll resume her winning ways. music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart-watch/week-ending-dec-18-2010-beyonce-streak-interrupted-004612655.html |

I'm glad that, in spite of lukewarm singles reception, this era has been good for her. This CD has made me a legit Beyonce fan. I had only ever liked about 2-3 songs per era, before. With the exception of "Best Thing I Never Had," I love this album.
